Yesterday was and uneventful day. I got some spare time and went to the observation deck last night and was able to see so many stars. I found the big dipper. But it was strange, there was no moon in sight. We asked around and no one else had seen the moon in a couple days either. We kept searching but never found it. My friend asked her professor about it this morning and he told her that we couldn't find it because it was a new moon, we all felt a little dumb after that because that thought never crossed our minds.
Today has been an interesting day! Had classes today, like usual but it was exceptionally rocky this morning. When I walked into my global studies lecture, which is a HUGE class in an auditorium, people were talking about the tiny sail boat that they saw. I had to take a look, it was a very small boat for a very large ocean. It only had one mast with 2 small sails so my guess is that is couldn't be more than 50 feet long.
This afternoon there was a lone bird flying behind the ship, first life I've seen since I left the bahamas a few days ago. I wonder where it came from because we are a long way from land. On an even more exciting note, I saw a whale today!!! I am thrilled! Other people had seen some but today was my first glimpse at a whale in the wild. It was far away but it was a whale no doubt. It had a massive tail! Another interesting thing i saw today was a storm in the distance. You could tell it was raining from the dark cloud and it looked really cool.
In a few minutes I have my first quiz for global studies. We will be taking all our quizzes and test for global studies in the evening because all 500 students are in this class so we have to be divided up among the ship. I hope it goes well. We lose another hour tonight so I will hopefully be in bed early tonight.
Only 6 days till Barcelona! Yay!
